I crammed my 19' boat (3.0L alpha) into my enclosed, insulated garage.

Do I need to fully winterize it? The garage stays in the mid-50's
during the winter months. I have a trickle charger to maintain the
battery. I can also pull it out monthly and run it in the driveway at
idle temp.

What do you think?



I don't know where you live, but assuming you get cold, winter type weather,
your best intentions of running the engine once a month may soon be
reconsidered.

One of the advantages of winterizing with anti-freeze is it's anti-corrosion
benefits on the engine internals. If the boat is going to sit all winter
without being used, it's worth
considering.
